I ordered my bumper bare on purpose. Get some sandpaper, I used 3m with a fine grit, and rub it down good...prime it twice. I use spray on bedliner 2-3 coats and it's holding up nicely. I have no regrets

Edit: 3rd pic is old doesn't really help your question just too lazy too delete. 1st pic is primed and the 2nd pic is the first coat of bedliner. After each coat dries clean it and spray again.

As for xj replacements I thought all 92+ boxes were the same. I could be wrong

I wanna get rid of the dull gauge cluster lights. Does anyone know where I can get the HID or LED lights that plug right in to the stock inlet or whatever?

Here's the write-up. It's worth a read, and Dukie knows his stuff.

I've helped with this swap before, but haven't done it myself. It's hard work, but it's a simple job.
No problem. Got nothing to wrench on and lots of time to help while I wait on the insurance company.
